He managed to score 119 points for his category at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, and eventually achieved his best career result at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, when he shot a total 120 targets in the qualifying rounds, finishing only in seventeenth place.

At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Al-Mutairi made his fourth appearance in men's skeet shooting, with a slight preparation and reluctant training.[2] Unlike his three previous games, he struggled to attain a higher position in the qualifying rounds, shooting less than twenty-five clay targets in each of five successive attempts. Because of his poor performance and tough competition, Al-Mutairi finished only in thirty-ninth place at the end of two-day qualifying rounds, for a total score of 104 points.[3]
At the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Al-Mutairi made his fifth appearance in men's skeet shooting, but his final score of 119 was not enough to see him progress despite a second day of qualification that saw him claim a perfect score of 25 in the first round, and 23 in the second, for a total of 48 out of 50.[4]
